Changes

'''''Head Like A Hole''''' is the first track on the 1989 release ''[[Pretty Hate Machine]].'' It was the first commercial success [[Trent Reznor]] had and recieved received wide radio rotation at the time. Though Reznor doesn't dislike the song, he was quite suprised surpised it became as big as it did, especially due to its relatively easy writing process compared to some of the lesser recognized tracks on ''Pretty Hate Machine'' ("[[That's What I Get]]" and "[[Kinda I Want To]]" most notably).

The second track on the [[Head Like A Hole (halo)|Head Like A Hole]] single, this is the version that was used in the video for Head Like A Hole. The only major differences are a different intro (one that features the second half of the chorus and some rhythmic chanting) and an unadulterated and extended version of the outro stereo wipe.

The first track on the [[Head Like A Hole (halo)|Head Like A Hole]] single, this version contains more treble than its cousins and a somewhat dancier beat than most, along with higher pitched synths playing the bassline as a lead instead. It's intro is the same as the (Clay) remix. It also lacks the stereo wipe outro and instead simply loops as it fades out.

Present on the [[Head Like A Hole (halo)|Head Like A Hole]] single, the (Copper) remix seems to be a cut and paste of the various remixes above, containing bits and peicespieces, loops and interruptions of the other songs. It contains the dance beat of (Slate) but has the layered guitaring guitar of the original version as well as a slightly modified instrumental intro. It's outro is an odd drum loop that contains a bizarre squeak accompaning accompanying a ride cymbal.

The video contains three different sequences, used at different intervals of the song. During the verses, footage of tribal dancers is untercut undercut with rotating cybernetic heads, creating a strobe effect. For the main chorus and instrumental interludes, the band is seen playing in a large cage with wires and magnetic tape at their feet. The sub-chorus features black-and-white footage of Reznor lowering his head into a tub filled with water and bringing it back up. At the end of the video, Reznor's feet have become entangled in the tape and wires as he is lifted off the ground, hung upside-down and writhes in mid-air.
